Play safe in the early game as he could win trades with you if you're not careful. When he pulls you, stun him using your W and fight him using your Q,then use your E to retreat. Repeating this could let you win trades easily at lvl 3 onwards.

Play passively until level 3,then you can start to trade.When you see channeling his Decimate,dash to him to deny blade damage&healing and combo him.Save one of your dashes to disengage from his E.At level 6,fully engaging on Darius is a free kill.

Darius out-trades Riven but relies heavily on Q for damage. Try to predict it. If he ever wastes it Riven can go in for a trade. Be cautious with this because you can't escape him once you go in, so if he keeps fighting you must as well.

Early game a good Riven can beat Darius. However as the game goes on and Darius stacks armor he eventually outscales Riven really hard, so even a Riven who kills Darius 3 times in lane wont be able to 1v1 him by the time he has 2 items.

She is very easy to deal with when you met her. Just build Armor item immediately after you gained 1k gold. Try to avoid 2 v 1 fights in top lane though. 1 v 1 riven with armors are amazingly good.
